Starbucks is more than a coffee shop…it’s a way of life. It’s not just that the chain offers *coffee* per se, it offers your very specific wish mixed into one cup. And it doesn’t even have to be coffee that you order. Starbucks offers a plethora of beverages that are beyond coffee. So anyone who sticks their nose in the air because they think they’re better than Starbucks just *doesn’t know* everything they have to offer. If, however, you’re on the other end of the spectrum and can’t live without your daily/weekly dose of Starbucks drinks, or even if you just want to get more into Starbucks, here are some of the basic Starbucks drinks everyone should know at the chain. And keep in mind: when in doubt, order a grande.

How to order:
- *If you’re into hot coffee*: vanilla latte with *insert your choice of milk*
- *If you’re into iced coffee*: vanilla latte with *insert your choice of milk* and ask for light ice
2. Iced Chai Tea Latte
How to order: iced chai latte with *insert milk preference* and cinnamon
3. Pink Drink

4. Caramel Macchiato
How to order:
- *If you’re into hot coffee*: exactly as is, unless you want to change the milk or additional caramel

10. Strawberry Acai Refresher
How to order: always get a larger size than you normally would with this drink. You can either get this drink with a water base or lemonade base. Always ask for light ice because otherwise you’ll get much less of the actual drink. They fill up the cup with ice instead of drink. That’s the beauty of “light ice”.
